Making a cordless lamp is super easy. Making it still give off light after you cut the cord is the tricky part.

[jamespieper]

Another positive for creating your lamps is for areas that have power outages due to storms or power grid failures.

The most impressive thing about this video is how seamlessly you plugged those Dap products. That was awesome!!

Although I am not making a cordless lamp any time soon, I did learn a few things. Like the readymade powerbank with ac outlet. I have a battery bank with lithium battery. The charging module is fried. I was thinking of modifying it into a table lamp. This video got me thinking! Thanks!

[tomtruesdale]

What great ideas, I have never really given any thought into cordless lamps but you have given me insite into converting corded to cordless lamps. Thank you.

Excellent, clear instructions! No annoying chatter (“look at me - I’m trying to differentiate myself on YouTube by gimmicks and quirky personality”).
Knowledgeable and the introduction of the sponsor’s product was actually useful and not intrusive 👍

It is loud. Not my favorite. Not just loud, but big. The third one is my favorite! Already have everything 😊

I found your blog online and I'm more of a visual learner so I really appreciate this video. I also couldn't believe how hard a cordless lamp is to locate, so I'm very glad that DIY is an option. Thanks for clearly stating both the pros and cons but also several options and details of how to do this.

As a lighting designer, I have to say your tips are spot on. You are lucky that the shades and harp were compatible sizes!

[squiggy]

Thank you for this great tip! I am using this to make lamps for times of power outages instead of ugly lanterns and flashlights. There is a psychological lift to having "normalcy" during extended power outages. We use battery power inverters during outages and this will help keep use from having so many extension cords as well as be able to have the portability.

[arinemiko]

Love this! Thank you for your in depth research.
I’ll definitely be converting a few lamps with option #3 soon!

[DuncanBuilds]

pretty brilliant. never even thought of a cordless lamp but the applications are great. Now if you integrated a smart switch as well i think it would be perfect!

Great tutorial. I love how you offer different options for the power source and bulbs. One game changer would be to add smart bulbs for more of a remote access to your lighting (if your power source method is suited correctly)

[CPT_IDOL]

Another great DIY project for a product many people don’t even realize they may want or need! You could even geek it up to a factor of 10 if you were to add an inexpensive Wyze smart bulb that is temp and even color tunable! 👍🏼😎👍🏼

[iLoraine]

There are actual lightbulbs that are rechargeable, but you offered great options. Also, that lamp you made is so pretty.

[thishandleisntavailable]

To get more then 5v from a supported usb charger you need a little chip that talks to the powerbank to negotiate a voltage. Look for something like a zy12pdn. That is a little board that supports asking for up to 20v

[FreemanFurnishings]

Thank you for sharing these great ideas! Also, I feel like you should walk around your house and just admire the gazillion things you have made!

[superseven]

I’ve found a rechargeable 12v battery bank like that on Amazon that I’ve used to add lights to my kids toy kitchen sets. It’s nice because I don’t have to rip through AA batteries anymore. Great video, love the lamp ideas.

[azrockpunk]

So stocked you made these happen. You have been working these out for years and you knocked it out of the park.

[evelynwald]

Excellent video and tips. This would be particularly useful for me for power outages as I don’t have a whole house generator! Thanks for doing all of the research as well as offering multiple ways to make a cordless lamp!
